[QUOTE="snow, post: 308224, member: 1056"] Lol,this thread is great,you guyz are good humor... In my younger days had a darn good job as a water well driller,ran one of the first rotary machines that replaced the cable tool and dynamite for deep commercial wells,this was in the 70's, one summer we were called to a small farming community in north central minn to pop irrigation wells for pivets,farmers needed help when mother nature took a shit for rain,well first job we were told to wait as the farmer hired a "witcher" to find under ground water streams...I told these farmers we could pop a well anywhere down to the 1st layer of clay and get plenty of irrigation water but they made us wait for the witcher,when the witcher finally came he was nursing a jug of apricot brandy for breakfast,had his hickory Y shaped witching stick and off we went following this old fart through a scrub corn field,by god we found water on every mark he made,I called "bullshit" about the process insulting the old fart,he took me aside showed me how to hold the witching stick and set me loose,lol felt foolish and it didn't work for me,he said my body didn't have the magnetic pull again I called B.S. so the old guy got behing me,(brandy breath ) held my hands and off we went,when we came to the water mark as the witching rod went down I squeezed the stick as hard as I could,and damn if the bark didn't peel back in my hands,I thought for sure this old guy was a fake knowing we had water everywhere below and he was forcing the witching stick down,moral here our old timer's know thing's gotta take time and listen to them.
